assumign that goes ageand then i guess that would be one path forward to avoid
yet another set of openstack images as i share your concern although i dont think
the technical case has been made that ooo should replace the kolla images with a new set
or that the proposed cross project goal should be accpeted.

if its just building contier image for git repos prepared by zuul then
kolla source image could trivialy support that.

kolla supports building images for git repos so you can just override the
source location for each image to point to the zull cloned git repos.

i have not really followed why https://review.opendev.org/720107 is somehow
unique in being able to support that? obviously without a way to rebuild distroy packages we 
build kolla binary images speculativly. but kolla source images which just pip install the
different service into a virtual env could totally support depens-on and other featuer we get
for free in the devstack jobs by virtue of using the soruce repos prepared by zuul.
